Plants generate energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Now, researchers have created an ARTIFICIAL photosynthesis process that uses nanotechnology and biology to capture carbon before it can be emitted into the atmosphere. And while plants use this process to turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates, the artificial method can use it to build acetate. From there, this system could be used to make plastics or (maybe) fuel!

A hearty bowl of cereal gives you the energy to start your day, but how exactly did that energy make its way into your bowl? It all begins with photosynthesis, the process that converts the air we breathe into energizing glucose. CathySymington details the highly efficient second phase of photosynthesis -- called the Calvin cycle -- which converts carbon dioxide into sugar with some clever mix-and-match math.

Photosynthesis originated as a genetic mutation that allowed simple cyanobacteria to produce their own food source with only the power of the sun. However, the resulting waste product of this process, oxygen, was toxic to almost all life on the young planet. This oxygen created by cyanobacteria's new superpower also reacted with the existing atmosphere and caused a dramatic period of cold climate known as "Snowball Earth." When the planet emerged from this icy condition 200 million years later, the life that remained found itself in a warm, oxygen-rich environment perfect for the evolution of multicellular organisms.

Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas. The hydrogen freed by water splitting is used in the creation of two further compounds: reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "energy currency" of cells.

THE SECRET WORLD OF THE PLANTS

The secret world of plants gets us closer to these motionless and quiet creatures, so attractive and surprising as the rest of the living creatures.
The documentary reveals the most unknown aspects of the vegetable kingdom. We will learn about the secret of the eternal youth of a 3500 years old sequoia and be charmed by the 'rafflesia arnoldi' flowers, able to reach up to one meter of diameter. An exhaustive journey through the world of plants, from its domain over humid areas in mangrove covers, where they are able to live inside the water, to the most arid spots, conquered by the 'Welwitzia mirabilis', whose leaves reach up to six meter length .

What killed the dinosaurs?, DINOSAUR EXTINCTION, documentary

What caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs that marks the end of the Cretaceous and the beginning of the Paleogene? Scientists have yet to find an answer. The one that does must explain why these animals died while most mammals, turtles, crocodiles, salamanders, and frogs survived. Birds escaped. So did snails, bivalves, sea stars (starfish), and sea urchins. Even hardy plants able to weather climate extremes fared OK.
Scientists tend to huddle around one of two hypotheses that may explain the Cretaceous extinction: an extraterrestrial impact, such as an asteroid or comet, or a massive bout of volcanism. Either scenario would have choked the skies with debris that starved the Earth of the sun's energy, throwing a wrench in photosynthesis and sending destruction up and down the food c...

The secret world of plants gets us closer to these motionless and quiet creatures, so attractive and surprising as the rest of the living creatures.
The documentary reveals the most unknown aspects of the vegetable kingdom. We will learn about the secret of the eternal youth of a 3500 years old sequoia and be charmed by the 'rafflesia arnoldi' flowers, able to reach up to one meter of diameter. An exhaustive journey through the world of plants, from its domain over humid areas in mangrove covers, where they are able to live inside the water, to the most arid spots, conquered by the 'Welwitzia mirabilis', whose leaves reach up to six meter length .

What caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs that marks the end of the Cretaceous and the beginning of the Paleogene? Scientists have yet to find an answer. The one that does must explain why these animals died while most mammals, turtles, crocodiles, salamanders, and frogs survived. Birds escaped. So did snails, bivalves, sea stars (starfish), and sea urchins. Even hardy plants able to weather climate extremes fared OK.
Scientists tend to huddle around one of two hypotheses that may explain the Cretaceous extinction: an extraterrestrial impact, such as an asteroid or comet, or a massive bout of volcanism. Either scenario would have choked the skies with debris that starved the Earth of the sun's energy, throwing a wrench in photosynthesis and sending destruction up and down the food chain. Once the dust settled, greenhouse gases locked in the atmosphere would have caused the temperature to soar, a swift climate swing to topple much of the life that survived the prolonged darkness.

The Magical Leaf: The Quantum Mechanics of Photosynthesis

This little movie, based on an excerpt from Michael Brooks' latest book, "At The Edge Of Uncertainty," describes the quantum mechanical actions behind plant photosynthesis. Includes a glimpse of how a plant absorbs photon energy and converts into its own growth cycle.

Can Artificial Photosynthesis Save The Planet?

Share on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1A0cvAM
Plants generate energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Now, researchers have created an ARTIFICIAL photosynthesis process that uses nanotechnology and biology to capture carbon before it can be emitted into the atmosphere. And while plants use this process to turn carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates, the artificial method can use it to build acetate. From there, this system could be used to make plastics or (maybe) fuel!

Nature's smallest factory: The Calvin cycle - Cathy Symington

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/nature-s-smallest-factory-the-calvin-cycle-cathy-symington
A hearty bowl of cereal gives you the energy to start your day, but how exactly did that energy make its way into your bowl? It all begins with photosynthesis, the process that converts the air we breathe into energizing glucose. CathySymington details the highly efficient second phase of photosynthesis -- called the Calvin cycle -- which converts carbon dioxide into sugar with some clever mix-and-match math.

Photosynthesis Unleashes Chemical Superweapon: Oxygen

Photosynthesis originated as a genetic mutation that allowed simple cyanobacteria to produce their own food source with only the power of the sun. However, the resulting waste product of this process, oxygen, was toxic to almost all life on the young planet. This oxygen created by cyanobacteria's new superpower also reacted with the existing atmosphere and caused a dramatic period of cold climate known as "Snowball Earth." When the planet emerged from this icy condition 200 million years later, the life that remained found itself in a warm, oxygen-rich environment perfect for the evolution of multicellular organisms.
